Read the version 0.5.0 update.
Writing your own multiplayer boilerplate using Socket.io/SockJS/etc is time consuming and you'll face a range of different problems along the way. Colyseus should have all these problems figured out already.
- Authoritative game server
- WebSocket-based communication
- Binary delta compressed state (through msgpack / fossil-delta-js)
- Match-making
- Custom room handlers
- Scalable vertically
- Lag compensation (using timeframe, a Timeline implementation) - Not automatic. You should apply the technique as you need, in the client and/or the server.
See roadmap for our future plans.
- JavaScript/TypeScript
- Unity
- CoronaSDK (compatible with server v0.3.x)
- Construct2 (compatible with server v0.4.0)
- Cocos2d-x (compatible with server v0.4.0)
